Basics of the Clean Air Act
The Clean Air Act has a major impact on both human health and the economy. The Act and its implementing regulations are at the center of many of the most pressing controversies in environmental law. The Clean Air course made this complex area accessible by providing real world examples of air quality planning, including:
permitting programs,
standards for mobile sources, and
special programs developed to improve air quality such as the acid rain program.
The seminar addressed the developments leading to the enactment of the Clean Air Act in 1970 and its 1990 amendments, and the key federal actions being taken under the Clean Air Act to address climate change.
